The flowers are densely filled with petals, much like antique roses, and most possess a strong fragrance. English roses are a good choice for cutting gardens. Their full, intensely perfumed flowers make sumptuous bouquets. Some varieties climb if left unpruned and can be trained along a fence or arbour. The symbolism of rose colours is steeped in tradition. Roses inspired people over thousands of years to develop a language of colour.

Planting & CarePlanting rose plant When you bring rose plant and cannot plant it immediately, leave the plant in the box and lightly sprinkle the roots every day. Do not let the roots to dry out. Plant the rose plant as soon as possible. If cannot plant it immediately to the desired location, plant it in a container.Dig a planting hole according to the roots, the rose plant has.

If it is 2 yrs, then dig a planting hole at least 6 inch deeper, so the roots of the plant can be accommodate without crowding or bending. Mix some fertilizer (cow manure or organic compost) with the soil in the planting hole – plant the rose plant carefully, spread its root and fill with soil. Firm the soil tightly around the plant. If the rose plant is not so old and has less roots – then dig a lesser deeper planting hole.

How to plant it? Cut a stem from a rose plant. Mix fertilizer with some soil, add little water with this mixture and make a firmly tight lump at one end of the stem. Dig a planting hole (index finger deep) – place the stem with lump side down, fill with soil. Firm the soil tightly. Keep the soil moist continuously for 2-3 weeks.

Soil: Rose are grown in well-drained soil with optimum sunlight. Clay or loamy soil are ideal.

Water: Rose plant can survive drought but they won’t thrive – to have a thrive rose plant, keep the soil moist all the time. That means when top soil is removed by few centimeter, the soil should still be moist. For that, the soil must be soaked to 6 to 8 inch deep and not just sprinkle the water.

Keep the rose plant moist all the time but never allow the roots to sit in water – otherwise they will rot, also the plant becomes more vunerable to diseases.

Temprature: 10 to 38 °C

Fertilizer: During active growth and blooming stage, rose plants need more fertilizing. The plant need frequently feeding and generously. Cow manure is best preffered as fertilizer for the rose plants, but other organic fertilizers like compost are also used. Rose plants requires 2-3 times feeding during the season.

Slow release or organic fertilizers applied to the ground are the most effective; however foliar feeds are also valuable for a quick effect and to help keep the leaves healthy.

Mulching with organic matter (a very wide range is available) is a very important part of rose growing, helping to conserve water, keeping the ground cool and feeding the micro organisms and worms in the soil.

It should preferably be well rotted and, if it starts to disappear during the season, be reapplied.

The best way to keep your plants free from pests and diseases is to choose disease resistant varieties and to grow them as well as possible.

Regular watering is essential, the rose will be stronger, healthier and, most importantly, produce more flowers.

Early spring is the best time to prune.

If it’s still winter, your overeager cuts may lead to frost damage.

Pruning is pretty straightforward: Remove all non-negotiable growth, thin the plants, and then shape them.

In general use a soil-based compost placed over a generous layer of drainage material such as earthenware crocks, pebbles or gravel. Water and feed regularly, especially while plants are bearing flowers and fruit, when a high-potash fertilizer is recommended.
